  • Beethoven Feel The Music Essay

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beethoven’s early life was one out of a sad story book. For being one of the most well-known musicians one would think that sometime during Beethovens childhood he was influenced and inspired to play music; This was not the case. His father was indeed a musician but he was more interested in drinking than he was playing music. When his father saw the smallest sliver of music interest in Beethoven he immediately put him into vigorous musical training in hopes he would be the next Mozart; his training included organ, viola, and piano. This tainted how young Beethoven saw music and the memories that music brought. Nevertheless Beethoven continued to do what he knew and by thirteen he was composing his own music and assisting his teacher, Christian Neefe. Connections began to form during this time with different aristocrats and families who stuck with him and became lifelong friends. At 17 Beethoven, with the help of his friends, traveled to Vienna, the music capitol of the world, to further his knowledge and connection...

  • Beethoven's Seventh symphony

    904 Words  | 2 Pages

    When describing Beethoven it is impossible not to mention the impact he had on music. Beethoven served as a bridge between the Classical and Romantic era and helped pave the way for the Romantic composers that came after him. He is most famous for his symphonies, even though he produced more piano sonatas during his career than symphonies. This is due to the fact that Beethoven made his symphonies stand out from other composers such as Haydn and Mozart by maximizing all the musical elements associated with the symphony and making them more intense, more emotional, and essentially more exciting to audiences. Written in 1811, Beethoven’s 7th symphony premiered as part of a charity concert in 1813 for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Hanau. The orchestra at the concert was made up of the best musicians of the day including Johann Hummel and Antonio Salieri. Beethoven conducted the symphony, and the audience reacted so well that the second movement was given an encore on the spot. This symphony was said to be the height of Beethoven’s popularity (St. Clair).
